SWTOR Character Tales: Shadows of Revan plans

Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to the Assassin's Den!  Today, I'm going to talk about how the events of Shadows of Revan are going to go down for my SWTOR Character tales characters.

First off, the game canon universe.  In that universe, I'm going to focus primarily on the interactions between characters; both player characters and companions, as well as their personal stories.  With that in mind, during the Rishi section, I'm going to tell the stories of their personal side quests, as well as the interactions between the characters and their companions, characters and other characters, and companions between companions, with a couple exceptions.  First off, Vette and Risha will not interact, due to Risha being on Dubrillion and ruling there.  Second, nobody's going to interact with Vector, who won't be there at all, though the reason why will show up in the story.

Now, obvious interactions will be the Jedi and Sith cast and their companions, of course, but some of the more interesting interactions that I can think of are Amelisan and Pierce, Qyzen and Bowdaar, Qyzen and Mako and Curoda and Maircus. 

The White Knight Universe, however, will be slightly different.  Where as the game canon universe will be focusing on the characters, the White Knight Universe will be focusing on the game's story, with Mamine's personal story being the exception; where as Anstrisil, Yokonari and Casek's class story moment on Rishi will be pretty much the same as their game canon counterparts, the way the Knight's story will affect Mamine will be very different than it will affect Ragdat.

That doesn't mean that the game canon universe won't focus on the story.  Darth Nox will have some very interesting interactions with the ghost of Revan on Yavin, and again when she faces his Dark Side version with the other members of the main cast later.  But there are a LOT of chapters that focus on Yokonari and Casek already there, and Mamine's redemption is the more interesting story in their universe right now.

Once Yavin is done, I'm skipping Ziost (since what happens there is more important than what how the characters react to it) and rolling right into KOTFE with the two universes.  And it is that where the focus of SWTOR Character Tales changes. 

With KOTFE, I'm breaking the two universes into their own stories; KOTFE: Rise of Mamine, and KOTFE: Ragdat's darkest days.  At that point, the central narrative will be around two characters, Ragdat and Mamine, since they become the Outlander for their respective universes.  The other members of their universes will show up, though, and they will get their time to shine, but the narrative will focus primarily on the Jedi Knights, as I feel that the one who killed Vitiate back on Dromund Kaas being the ones to have him stuck in their heads to be the best focus.

As for what that means for SWTOR Character Tales, it means that incidental characters, like Chas'Raan, Tavella, Gentugo and the others that I introduced into the game canon universe for character building for the main cast will have some time to shine during KOTFE.  I'm also going to introduce a few into the White Knight Universe as well, and two might be familiar to people who have been reading the story for a while.  Hell, one of them already has a profile on this very blog!

For now, look forward to what's to come, and stay beautiful freaks!
